Last year's winner Nathaniel heads a field of 10 for Saturday's King George VI And Queen Elizabeth Stakes at Ascot.
The Betfair-sponsored Group One really lives up to its midsummer highlight billing, with seven of the field already winners at the highest level.
John Gosden's Nathaniel won the Coral-Eclipse just two weeks ago but the Clarehaven handler has been delighted with his charge since and lets him take his chance.
St Nicholas Abbey is Aidan O'Brien's main hope having won a second Coronation Cup last month.
He will be joined by stablemate Robin Hood who is likely to adopt pacemaking duties.
Michael Stoute is aiming to become the winning-most trainer in the history of the race with Sea Moon, who won the Hardwicke Stakes at Royal Ascot en-route, just like his last winner Harbinger.
Melbourne Cup hero Dunaden, judged by many to be unlucky in the Hardwicke, tackles Sea Moon again.
Danedream, last year's surprise Prix de l'Arc de Triomphe winner, represents Germany while Deep Brillante has travelled over from Japan.
Tom Dascombe's Brown Panther, part-owned by former England striker Michael Owen, runs, as does Ladbrokes St Leger winner Masked Marvel, a strong second-string to Gosden's bow.
Alain de Royer-Dupre's Reliable Man, winner of the French Derby twelve months ago, completes the field.
